Delegates attending this year’s Routes Europe event in Tallinn should make sure that they take some time, before or after the event to really take in the sights of this small, cosy and easy-to-explore historic city.
Tallinn is home to the most intact, UNESCO protected, medieval Old Town in the world. The city centre with all the main entertainment facilities, shopping malls and hotels is just next to the Old Town and very easily explored on foot. Our host Tallinn Airport and their supporters are very kindly providing some exclusive tours which are complimentary to all registered delegates.
Why not take a walking tour of the old town? A guide will take you through the medieval Old Town which dates back to the 13th Century. Here you will stand in the midst of romantic cobblestone streets and squares, dignified merchant houses, diverse churches, impressive fortification wall and towers, cosy corners and courtyards looking like they were torn right from the pages of a storybook.
For delegates wishing to view the recently renovated and extended facilities at one of the fastest growing airports in Europe, there will be a complimentary tour of Tallinn Airport on Sunday May 20th.
Places on these tours are limited and bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis. Secure your place now to avoid disappointment! Visit Routesonline for more information about these tours and to download the booking form.
